ElevenLabs, an AI voice startup founded by former Google and Palantir employees, has introduced a new text-to-sound AI tool called Sound Effects. This addition follows the company’s earlier innovations in text-to-speech and speech-to-speech synthesis. This tool allows users to generate various audio samples by simply typing a description.
In February, The company teased the tool with clips featuring AI-enhanced sound effects. ElevenLabs collaborated with Shutterstock to bring this product to market, aiming for widespread adoption among content creators looking to enrich their projects with immersive soundscapes.
Currently, creators who need ambient noises for videos, games, or films must either record them manually or purchase them from online repositories. This can be costly and may not always yield the desired audio. The Sound Effects tool addresses this by enabling creators to generate specific sounds through text prompts. The model processes the input and generates six unique audio samples for the user to choose from. Users can then download or store their selected samples on the ElevenLabs platform.
